Dear Editor:

This election year is perhaps the single most important election our country has ever faced and it is up to us, the voters, to decide which road we will take.

This election will not hinge on the economy, social security or even foreign affairs. This election hinges on a choice between fear and hope.

A few weeks ago, Vice-President Cheney implied that voting for Senator Kerry would result in more terrorist attacks. Earlier this week House Speaker Hassert repeated the same "connection", and I'm sure we will continue to hear the same from others. The underlying message is "be afraid - only Bush can stop terrorist attacks."

Senator Kerry's message is one of hope and a belief we can do better. President Bush's message is one of fear and a belief that "close enough is good enough".

History has shown that when Americans are united and challenged - we stand together and work together to meet those challenges. We have many challenges facing us today - and we have a choice. We can hide behind bushes in fear or we can stand up and face the future with confidence.

Hope or Fear - these are our choices in November.

[MsUnderstood]

1. Excellent letter

I only wish they would let you edit it to included Bush's statement that "the CIA guessed wrong" or whatever he said yesterday in response to the report by the CIA that we are screwed in Iraq.

2. Good Letter

The only time I'll be hiding behind the bushes is when I take aim at the real enemy.
